Posted on Reddit by Begooderrr, a side-by-side screenshot of the upcoming Japanese version full-art Meowth card was placed next to an image of Cerulean City from Pokemon Red and Blue. The fan pointed out that the Poke Mart and one of the houses from the city could be seen lurking in the back of Meowth’s card art, implying the cat was lounging in a tree nearby, and it’s a wonderful callback for fans of the original Game Freak and Nintendo games. Back in 2021, the Normal-type Pokemon was part of another fascinating card detail that bewitched fans. The Meowth and Inkay cards from the 2021 Pokemon TCG Roaring Skies expansion tell a story while holding the cards’ artwork together.
Pokemon TCG Fan Spots Cerulean City Easter Egg in Journey Together Meowth Card
The Pokemon community instantly fell in love with this callback detail, which is a far cry away from the disturbing Easter egg one Pokemon TCG player discovered on a Shedinja card. A Redditor also pointed out that Meowth can be found lurking in the tall grass just south of Cerulean City, which flaunts the card's attention to detail. Another fan dove deeper and claimed Meowth was resting in the tree that players have to cut down in the original games.
Card collectors are currently getting their money’s worth from the recent Prismatic Evolutions expansion, which was first released on January 17, 2025. Unfortunately, popular retailer GameStop had to limit the sales of Pokemon TCG’s Prismatic Evolutions set because of supply shortages, but The Pokemon Company has confirmed an increase in production to combat the shortfall.
